Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson will take the place of an injured Jason Sanders (hip) as the team's starting kicker in Week 1 against the Colts. The journeyman is suiting up for his sixth team in the last three seasons after stints with the Browns, Jets, Jaguars, Falcons, and Lions. He was signed to the practice squad and is expected to be elevated for kicking duties in Week 1. He'll be kicking on his 26th birthday on Sunday, and the veteran is 63-for-74 (85%) on field goal attempts in his career and has made 109 of his 113 extra-point attempts. He is the K22 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, making him nothing more than a one-week desperation fill-in for fantasy until he secures a more permanent role. He is kicking indoors in a decent matchup, though, so he isn't the worst option as a one-week patch.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales will make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he's not a reliable fantasy football option at this time. In addition to the fact that Borregales has never attempted a regular-season kick in the NFL, he also starts his career in a Gillette Stadium environment that could be dealing with light rain and wind on Sunday. Furthermore, while the Patriots' offense is trending upward, they lack the type of firepower that would essentially guarantee Borregales has multiple scoring opportunities every game. For now, the University of Miami product ranks near the bottom of the fantasy kicker rankings.
